There is an admsvr.lock file usually in the Open Edge Manager config folder:
e.g. C:\Progress\OEManage\Config\admsvr.lock
This can in some cases be left lying around after an abrupt reboot. It will prevent an Admin Server restart and needs to be deleted.

Assuming your OpenEdge is installed to the Path D:\Epicor\oe102a
Under a command prompt run with admin privileges.
Sc \\EpicorServer create AdminService10.2A binPath= D:\Epicor\oe102a\bin\AdmSrvc.exe DisplayName= “AdminService for OpenEdge 10.2Aâ€

This is a nice tool, because if you really want to, you can add a dependency to it, if a person is running the SQL version, and they are running them both on the same server, I have made an edit to make MSSQL a dependency of OpenEdge, that way you never end up with OpenEdge starting, and the Appservers not starting up because SQL hasn’t come online yet and the DB not available for the Appserver to connect to.
Make sure there is a space after the = sign

Have you ever seen the admin service disappear?
My workaround is starting the service manually.

Normally, this happens because not all the processes that were running before shutdown completely.
Check the Windows Task Manager for any processes that start with an _ or any java.exe processes.
If any exist, manually kill them off and then try to restart.
if you still have a problem, check the oe102a_wrk or whatever relevant wrk folder you have for your open edge install, and check the admsrv.log file for an error, sometimes the windows logs will give you an answer too, but that’s usually only for password errors, so make sure if the service starts with a username and password, then the password is correct in case it has been updated recently.

I know the answer is probably in the site and I am going to search now.
the Admin service for Insite manifest not the main app server.
where would I look for a lock file or message on why?
